Buddhist heaven??
In text is a suggestion to this - a very odd item - please help with inline cites - to clarify assertions in article SatuUser talk:JarrahTree 00:06, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

The image in Kalasan upper niches depicting Kala's head with images of celestial palace with celestial beings: gods and devatas, apsaras (celestial maidens) and gandarvas(celestial musician).

The line "buddhist heaven" probably sounds weird for dharmic religion that believe in reincarnations. But its direct translation of "Svargaloka" which in modern Indonesian translate to "surga" or "heaven", this is the concept of celestial heavenly bountiful palace and gardens where good people (they're not free from reincarnation cycle) reborn in this realm as gods or celestial divinities.

I've red the concept of Buddhist hell also, which is the place where bad people reborn as demon in horrible realm, they're constantly hungry and eat disgusting things, quite comparable with hell.

Those whom are born in celestial god's realm (comparable to heaven), or hideous demon's realm (comparable to hell) is due to their karma. The nirvana, the perfect nothingness or emptiness, where one succeed breaking the cycle of reincarnation and avoiding samsara and become enlighten as "buddha" is the highest and ultimate spiritual peak in buddhist beliefs, far greater than just entering "heaven". That's as far as I know. (Gunkarta (talk) 10:20, 27 May 2009 (UTC))
